[url]http://www.woofactor.com/celebrities/Rasheed_Wallace/biography/[/url]

full name is Rasheed Abdul Wallace

[url]http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Rasheed-Wallace[/url]

I won't go into other things, such as his lack of fasting, but according to this logic, what makes one a Muslim? Simply a belief that you're Muslim? Or is there even a basic minimum of conditions one has to fulfill?
